[VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board] |
Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:Born Never Asked / Electric Mainline by: Spiritualized from: Pure Phase Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 039 - Words Can't Describe: Instrumentals That Leave Us Speechless At one time I thought this band didn't have what it took to be great. I felt an element was missing somewhere. When I finally saw them in concert I realized what that element was. J. Spaceman and his band Spirtualized don't give a rat's ass if you like their music or not. They are making it for some reason above or beyond merely making music for our consumption. That's a fiscally convenient side effect sure, but what these guys really care about is making music to serve whatever mission they believe they're on. Their music is for themselves first and as an outsider I didn't get it. After seeing them live, I caught a glimpse of it. Some people thought it was arrogance, but it wasn't. It was passion, introspection...greatness. And now their music has been opened up for me. I hear things I didn't before, I listen not for the message or the story because their isn't one, I just listen to the beautiful music and find my own meaning in it. After all that's exactly what the band is doing. Spiritualized is a good name for the band, they aren't born again jesus freaks, but they are making wonderful music to listen to while examining yourself and just what you think it is to be alive. This instrumental may sound repetitve to some, but to me it's pure prefection. (thanx to P and D for leaving me space to include it.) |
